RIP – Daryl Coley (1955 – 2016)

Daryl Coley

The homegoing services for gospel great Daryl Coley, who passed away on March 15, 2016 at the age of 60, have been announced. Services, to be live streamed, will take place on April 2, 2016 at City of Refuge Los Angeles.

Daryl Coley was born in Berkeley, CA on October 30, 1955. He began his singing career at the age of 14 and eventually rose to become one of the world’s most beloved and well-known icons in gospel music. He has left a lasting impact on the world of gospel music and beyond with his unique musical style and his ability to merge genres. He recorded a landmark collection of more than 100 studio performances and worked with many other gospel greats over the years, including James Cleveland, the Hawkins family, the Clark Sisters, the Winans, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong, as well as the music industry’s biggest legends, including Stevie Wonder, Nancy Wilson and Philip Bailey. Many albums by Coley had long-lasting standing on Billboard’s gospel chart.

After he felt the call to ministry, Coley received a Doctorate of Sacred Music from the Ray of Hope Theological Seminary and Bible College International School of Divinity. Then, he became a minister and founded Love Fellowship Tabernacle in Los Angeles.

City of Refuge Los Angeles is located at 14527 S San Pedro St, Gardena, Calif. The family has requested that all flowers and cards be sent to the church, Attn: Kaye Winbush. The link to the stream will be posted on the City of Refuge website.
